Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong, Mae Ya Waterfall and Mae Tia Waterfall
Somewhere to go today. These stops are near each other, so the day is mostly spent at them rather than between them. We have not written this one up — the distances are measured and the descriptions come from Wikipedia, and it is offered as a suggestion rather than a guide we have driven.
The day
In order, with the drive between each.
